The fourth room's house was large, and the three brothers had not previously separated.
The courtyards of Wei Mingyan and Wei Minghuai remain intact.
Wei Mingyuan was afraid of being saddened by the scene, so he never went there. Including the main courtyard, almost all other places in the house were locked, leaving only the courtyard near the main house occupied.
Soldiers and servants remained at home.
Seeing the two masters, he turned sideways and bowed his head.
The uncle and niece walked all the way to the study.
The furnishings in the study are simple and somewhat old, revealing the vicissitudes and heaviness of time.
"Why isn't cousin Ling here?" Wei Xiyin asked at the right time.
Wei Mingyuan walked to the table and took out the confession that Shi Le had presented earlier. He flipped through it and replied, "He's stationed in the county town. He has nothing to do when he comes back, so let him help Wei Ting and the others with some work over there."
His hand suddenly stopped flipping through the confession, he read it carefully, and handed it to Wei Xiyin.
Wei Xiyin took it and just after her eyes scanned two lines, her expression changed slightly.
"King of Qi?"
Wei Mingyuan's brows twitched slightly, "Wu Niang knows about the King of Qi?"
How old was Minglun when the King of Qi was sentenced to death?
It seems that he is still a young boy and has not yet married.
really.
Wei Xiyin shook her head repeatedly, "Niece, I don't know."
Wei Mingyuan explained, "The Prince of Qi was the second legitimate son of the late emperor. He was executed for treason in the sixth year of Tianyuan. This year is already the twenty-ninth year of Tianyuan."
The current emperor is not born of a legitimate wife, so I'm afraid I need to ask the clan leader about the matter behind it. He has experienced two dynasties and must know the whole story.
"So the Shifang Sect is the remnant of King Qi?"
She read the confession over and over again. The Six-Direction Taoist priest did not have a high status, but she accidentally learned that there were old subordinates of King Qi in the sect. The superior that the followers had the most contact with on a daily basis was a Nine-Direction Taoist priest.
Wei Mingyuan said calmly, "Gu's family from Guangping is also involved."
Wei Xiyin's previous suspicion was correct. According to their confessions, the true identities of the man with the scimitar and the pretty boy were from the Gu family's side branch.
Those Taoists were particularly polite to the two of them, which seemed to indicate that the Gu family had a high status in the Shifang Sect.
According to the confession, Liufang Taoist didn't know much, but he confessed almost everything he could.
The Shifang Sect was established earlier than imagined.
They were lurking in various counties before the disaster, and each time they were given a mission by a familiar messenger. The last time was before the zombie outbreak, and the latest mission was brought by the pretty boy.
They were asked to take the recruited believers to Guangping.
The confession also mentioned that it seemed to be looking for something, like a person, or looking for something.
"It's a pity that the pretty boy is dead. I'm afraid he knew more."
Wei Xiyin felt a little regretful. She took a deep breath and asked, "Could the emergence of the virus be related to them?"
But it doesn't seem to make sense. The virus outbreak has been confirmed in Jingzhou, which is far away from here. With the current transportation, it is impossible for the Ten Directions Sect to have such a great ability.
If they were really that capable, they would have successfully rebelled long before the zombie outbreak.
Wei Mingyuan said in a heavy tone, "We don't know yet. Things are getting more and more complicated. Regardless of whether it has anything to do with the Ten Directions Sect, it seems that Governor Gong is in great danger."
If Gong Changjun was still alive, they would not dare to take him to Guangping so blatantly.
Wei Xiyin couldn't help but think of the fake military document from before.
Gong Chun probably had a premonition that his third uncle had already died.
"Then what is their purpose in doing this?" The King of Qi has been dead for more than 20 years. If the virus had not appeared, perhaps they would still have a chance to break into the imperial city.
What's the point of rebelling now?
"I don't know." Wei Mingyuan looked up at her. "Don't overthink it. We can't come up with any conclusions by just guessing. Right now, we have to resolve the Zhongshan issue as quickly as possible. After we get the troops, we can sweep through Yizhou all the way to Guangping."
The truth will come out in due time.
Wei Xiyin nodded, "Uncle, you may not know, but my niece sent out two waves of scouts, and the other wave has already headed to Guangping."
It's really one crisis after another.
She didn't hide the fact that her third uncle was one of her own. "My niece originally planned to resolve the Zhongshan Kingdom issue. Once she had an army, she would have the Zhongshan army sweep through Yizhou and eliminate the monsters. Then, my niece would lead her troops away and head to Kyoto to look for her family..."
The fort was guarded by the Wei family army, so she had no worries about the rear and could leave with peace of mind.
But it seemed that there was always an obstacle hindering her.
The Zhongshan Kingdom issue hasn't been resolved yet, and now there's a rebellion...
Wei Mingyuan agreed very much. He didn't want his niece to regret it in the future, so he said without hesitation, "Leave the rest to your uncle. I'm here to prevent the rebels from threatening the safety of the fort."
His words were steady and powerful, like a reassurance, which made Wei Xiyin feel much more at ease.
They have a lot of things to do right now, and they can't let a confession mess up their plans.
………
The uncle and niece didn't stay in the fourth room for long.
After coming out, he asked a few soldiers to lead the way to Shilin Village.
Wei Xiyin didn't call Chu Yu.
He went out with her, and when he came back there were still many chores to arrange, especially the research on plants. The progress made by Ji Xiaopang and his tenth cousin was related to the future planting industry of the fortress.
And Chu Yu will probably need to select a group of optimistic and cheerful people to take care of the crops on the mountain.
Wait until things here are arranged properly.
He would have to run back and forth to study the mutant zombie in the future, so there was no need for him to accompany them there at this time.
Shilin Village is located about twenty miles above the fort, and the distance there is about the same as that to the county town.
The sun is shining brightly.
There were almost no people working, only some soldiers were patrolling in the shade along the way.
The guards' attire has been completely renewed.
They wore armor coated with protective materials and breathable and lightweight bamboo hats on their heads. Everyone had a small ice bottle hanging on their chest to cool down. The herbal medicine shop also specially prepared Chinese herbal medicines to prevent heatstroke, which were carried by people outside.
When they were outside in the high temperature, the uncle and niece were not in a hurry to get going. They stopped and looked around as they walked.
There are still dozens of miles of walls on the border that have not been repaired. Now that a water source has been found, the repair work is being carried out in the morning and evening. The progress is a bit slow, but fortunately the monsters are very weak now, so there is no need to worry too much about the danger.
They arrived at Shilin Village just as the sun was about to set.
The entire exterior of the village has been renovated.
The newly built high wall can be seen from a distance, enclosing the entire village. There are four lookout towers on top, with soldiers patrolling the area.
The wall is the same height as the border, about six meters high, and you can't see what's inside.
Cookie had said before that there weren't enough people and asked her for more.
She asked Chang Ying to dispatch a hundred soldiers and ten city crossbows for defense, and asked Cookie to select thirty people to help.
The soldiers above quickly spotted the girl and reported it.
When the uncle and niece approached, the gate to the village entrance had already opened.
Cookie was standing outside the door to greet him.
As he got closer, Cookie took a deep breath and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. Has the girl gone out again?"
